    Get a better client.  I think there is a list in the FAQ of
    rec.games.mud.  I use tinytalk myself, hacked to bring up the editor
    of my choice (i.e. emacs) whenever I invoke a MOO editor (it involves
    some hacks to the MOO editor code, too.)  I know a number of people
    who hack MOO a lot use moo.el (Emacs-based client); it ought to be
    easy to include a file of your choice using that method.
